Generally it is the nature of the press to report on the tire that is flat and not on the three perfectly functioning ones. Therefore I offer this bit of good news to you from a place I’ve never heard of.
Muslims hold pro-US rally in Jolo
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/zam/2006/02/13/news/muslims.hold.pro.us.rally.in.jolo.html
A few quotes:
"I call on every Muslims in Sulu to support the government and the Balikatan program because this will bring us more humanitarian aid. Let us show the world that we are peaceful citizens. I appeal to every Muslims to welcome our American visitors and support their peaceful cause," the 50-year old leader, who is a staunch supporter of President Gloria Arroyo, said.
"That is what we need here, medicines and other assistance, like schools and clinics and the white soldiers to build mosques for free. That is what they say about this thing called Balikatan, this is really good and the Americans are kind people," he said.
I don’t know whether or not this was staged by the government and it doesn’t matter. Compare the things said in this article to those said in many anti-American rallies (many of which are undoubtedly staged).
I now leave this to the pessimists and nay sayers who think the world is just as miserable as they are.
